Movie Night

Posted on August 12, 2004 | Leave a comment

spideyWe re-watched Spiderman the other week to be fresh to see Spideman 2, but we still haven’t seen it… I’ve got Kill Bill 2 arriving today (from Blockbuster.com) so we’ll probably watch that tonight, but if it doesn’t arrive in the mail I think I might be in a Spidey mood.

We Have Dial Up

Posted on August 12, 2004 | Leave a comment

So I’m in a hotel for an all day meeting. I ask at the hotel if they have a WiFi connection or a room where I can access the Internet. The reply — “We have dial-up”. Like’s it’s something they have, when in reality it’s something they don’t have. She just didn’t get it…

The problem with this is compounded by the fact that the new Mac OS X 10.3.5 update (from two days ago) broke the ability to connect my cell phone to dial out. I feel totally cut off from the world…

New layout

Posted on August 12, 2004 | Leave a comment

So I know my new layout is kinda dull, but the colors from my London Blog (which is still on-line) never made me happy and since I closed it out yesterday I thought I’d change it and this was easy and I’ve been dying to use this psychedelic image. The scrolling text goes way too slow, at least it does in Safari. I’m sure I’ll change it soon, I just needed a not so colorful change.

Besides, this isn’t as dizzy as the rotating color backgrounds that I like… :)

It’s over

Posted on August 11, 2004 | Leave a comment

So I haven’t really gotten to keep this (my London Blog) as up-to-date as I’d like. I guess I was having too much fun while I was there and trying to catch up with life now that I’m home. I haven’t filled in a lot of the blanks or explained a lot of things. But I think I have most of the photos I’d like to post up (not all of them, I just ran out of disk space on my server, had to delete the Boston photos to find room).

Other stuff:

  • The goofy room key in the slot on the wall is so you have power in the room
  • The bridge with the towers is the Tower Bridge, the flat one is the London bridge.
  • I never got to do the trampoline thing.
  • The weird building from BladeRunner was a Lloyds of London.
  • I only got to eat five Waffle Toffee Crunch Sundaes. I was trying for seven.

    Here’s the last set of photos. This makes four…

    Blading

    england04-24_09-08-52So while I was in England I got to hang out with Monika, Danielle and Alysha. They were a blast and the kids had these accents that were so cute it actually sounded like that they were pretending to have accents. I should have recorded them so I could add an audio clip here.

    Lots of Blog Changes

    Posted on August 10, 2004 | Leave a comment

    Nothing super significant: I’m using the columnize plug-in to save some space for my archives and categories, I’m using the more javascript to make the extended entry accessible on the main page, hmm… (I did a third thing too, something I found on Girlie’s site while looking for something else…) Oh, at the bottom of the my main page, how I did the recent additional entries was an idea from Girlie. Of course this was all done with Movable Type from Six Apart.

    E-mail Broke Better

    Posted on August 10, 2004 | Leave a comment

    Something has had been up with my e-mail the last few (Friday, Aug 6th-Tuesday, Aug 10th) days. If you sent anything important the last few days (or even not important) please resend it if you haven’t gotten a response (or at least don’t complain).

    Technical support makes me crazy sometimes… If they read the problem the first time it’d really help solve the issue. I list the ten things I know they’ll ask, I bold the bizzaro answers that should point them in the right direction and I feel like they turn around and ask me to try the ten things I already told them the results.

    More than Half-Human

    Posted on August 7, 2004 | Leave a comment

    Today’s the first day I’ve felt way more than Half-Human since I’ve been back from vacation. Hopefully I can get a few things done this weekend: mail some CDs (sorry, BurnIt folks, they’re done I just need to print everything out), post my last few London photos, make my donation to to blog-a-thon, e-mail some people, play some BurnIt CDs (just got a bunch so at least I know everyone else was behind too), propane for the grill (I just threw out steaks that have been sitting in the fridge for the last week), go to the bank and I’m sure a few other things. As I’m writing this I can see I’m still a little fuzzy in the brain, I’ve just corrected a lot of synonyms (I do that when I’m not feeling well and/or on medications) in this post.
